Annual Survey Focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility Performance of Major U.S. Companies
Business Ethics Magazine has released its annual survey of the "100 Best Corporate Citizens" in the Spring 2006 issue published today. The closely-watched survey has gained national recognition as an indicator of best practices in the area of corporate social responsibility.
This year's "100 Best" list is led by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) of Waterbury, Vermont, which was cited for its "meticulous attention to corporate social responsibility," including its pioneering work in the fair trade movement, which pays coffee growers stable, fair prices. Green Mountain has been among the top 10 companies on Business Ethics' list for four years running.
Now in its seventh year, the list for 2006 is striking because of the dominance of technology firms among the top 10. Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) is enjoying its seventh time in the top 10, while Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) makes its first appearance on the list. Motorola (NYSE: MOT) is enjoying its third time in the top 10, and Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) its second time.
